Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson also discussed efforts to increase community engagement and collaboration.

<p>and how we're addressing violent crime in our community. Joining her today is Chief of Staff Amanda Roll who oversees the Chief's office. Deputy Chief scott who oversees our operations division and Deputy Chief Zachary Luchetti who oversees our administration administrative division. After Chief Patterson's remarks, she will take a few questions related to information related to the information distributed in your handout today. Ladies and gentlemen, chief Patterson, thank you Lieutenant Borneo and good afternoon to everyone and thank you for joining us today. For the fourth quarter 2022 crime briefing. Lieutenant Borneo didn't introduce the staff that is with me um standing with me but I also have members of my command staff that is here today with us. The stats that I will be covering are for the months of october november and december of 2022. I will be conducting a full year's briefing, covering all of 2022 later this month. Once all the numbers are officially compiled, one of the things I have repeatedly expressed is my desire to make Raleigh the safest city in the nation. I am hopeful that one of the ways we can work to accomplish this is by being transparent and providing the relevant information to the public that we can, I firmly believe if the community is aware of the crime challenges that we are facing, then we can all work collaboratively to for a targeted response to reduce it. This is one of the reasons that I hold this briefing. While we did see some challenges in the fourth quarter of 2022, we also saw many successes that were a direct result of some shifts that we made in personnel as well as the formation of several special enforcement teams. And we formed those teams to focus on areas where we have experienced repeated violence and quality of life concerns. Looking at the various crime categories that you have before you. I will start with homicides. In the fourth quarter we saw a 50% increase in homicides compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, there were a total of nine incidents for the quarter. There was of course the heading hand mass shooting which left five people dead and another two individuals injured. Of the nine total cases, suspects were identified in seven of them, yielding a 78% clearance rate, which is excellent In 67% of the cases, the suspect and the victim were known to each other in some capacity opposed to be in random acts of violence. I'm happy to report that none of the homicides for the fourth quarter occurred at night club or sweepstakes locations. If you can recall back in 2021, upon arriving in Raleigh, I made it a focus for us to concentrate on shootings and murders that were occurring at night clubs. After we experience four murders alone. In the third quarter of 2021 as a department, we have been very intentional in meeting with club owners and encouraging them to hire extra security as well as having our officers conduct directed patrols around our nightclubs to reduce the likelihood of violence. Those efforts have proven successful and we will continue in this new year looking at robberies. In the fourth quarter, we achieved a 25% reduction in personal robberies, there were 92 compared to 100 and 22 2021 The 92 is less than was reported in both the fourth quarters for 2020 and 2021, With respect to robbery from business locations, there was one more than the previous year. So 26 verses 25, we're always working with our businesses to target, harden their locations to prevent robberies. One area that I'm very pleased to see a reduction in for the quarter is in our aggravated assaults and our assaults involving firearms, removing dangerous weapons from our streets and out of the hands of of offenders has been a priority not only for the Raleigh Police department, but the entire law enforcement community across the nation Of the 115 reported aggravated assaults for the quarter, 43% involved a firearm, which again reaffirms the need to remove these weapons from out of the hands of those committing crimes. It is important that I remind every lawful gun owner to secure your firearms. I cannot stress it enough. Please do not leave firearms in your vehicles, not even for a moment, don't even in your trunk. Please don't do it At last count in 2022 there were three, there were 386 firearms stolen from vehicles in Raleigh, which is a 25% increase from 2021. Speaking of firearms, a disturbing trend. We have noticed not only in the fourth quarter of 2022 but throughout the year is the accessibility of firearms by juveniles. 11% of the aggravated assaults in the fourth quarter were committed by juveniles who had access to guns. The Raleigh Police department is partnering with the north Carolina division of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention on a statewide safe storage project that will involve an extensive education campaign and distribution of gun locks in an effort to keep those firearms secure and out of the hands of our Children. Members of R. P. D. Are part of this focus group on this project. I will continue to stress that we must devote every and all resources available to prevent youth violence. I'm asking community groups and nonprofits that may be listening to this crime briefing to considering partner with R. P. D. If you are not already to provide gun awareness and anger management training for our youth. We are seeing a greater need for this every day. Turning to property crimes. I want to highlight vehicle thefts because we continue to see this type of crime occur. There was an uptick of 12% in the number of cars reported stolen for the quarter, 325 versus 298. These thefts were fairly distributed throughout the city as we have seen in the past. It is a reminder to all of us that there is no part of the city that is exempt from car thefts nor cars being broken into. While 325 cars were stolen in Raleigh in the 4th quarter, a total of 465 vehicles were recovered. This number includes vehicles stolen in our jurisdiction as well as cars stolen outside of Raleigh. I really cannot say it enough, especially during the winter months. Please do not leave unattended vehicles running not even for a few moments and please do not leave spare keys and fobs in your vehicle. One area that I'd like to speak on today that I don't typically include in my crime briefings is traffic fatalities. In 2022, we experienced a disturbing increase in the number of fatalities. In the fourth quarter, there were 1912 of these were pedestrians being struck. The top three locations of these fatalities were the 43 to the 4700 block of capital boulevard, the 4400 to the 4700 block of New Bern Ave And the 2320 500 block of South Saunders Street, contributing factors to the fatalities were impairment, as well as excessive speeding and quite frankly, just the mere fact that we have more drivers on the, on our roadways than we had even pre pandemic has contributed to these fatalities. Our department is working very closely with city D. O. T. For traffic calming efforts, as well as many of our law enforcement partners in the region to slow drivers down. Colonel johnson and I in fact talked quite a bit about this in the fourth quarter, there were some of our efforts that we employed to try to reduce the number of fatalities or just speeding. In general was our traffic enforcement unit partnered with the Highway Patrol for speed enforcement along I 4 40 Lake Wheeler Road. This was back in october and november and this effort resulted in 100 and 46 speeding violations. Also on november 25th, the traffic enforcement unit concentrated their efforts along the 4000 block of six forks road due to excessive speeding and in december we conducted a saturation patrol along capital boulevard and Glenwood Avenue, which resulted in numerous D. W. I arrests, several prearranged speeding competition arrests and the seizure of five vehicles like violent crime. Speed enforcement is a top priority for me and we will continue to aggressively address this problem. I am thankful to the Governor's Highway Safety Commission for the grant funding to continue to voting officers to the important work of slowing drivers down. I'm also grateful to the many partners we have in this region who, whenever we reach out to them and ask for their participation in saturation patrols, they glad feli um respond and assist us. One other area I'd like to touch on in this crime briefing is Glenwood South. As I know it is a concern to many. In the fourth quarter we continued our presence of officers mainly on friday and saturday nights in this area. They worked in conjunction with our hospitality unit who's always working along the corridor. Our goal in the area has always been to promote vibrancy. While insurance safety for the fourth quarter we had nine reported aggravated assaults and 22 simple assaults And 22 firearms were confiscated from the Glenwood South Area as our city and our region continues to grow. We are not naive to think that we won't see increases in various crime categories. It is part of the growing pains of being a major metropolitan city But I want to assure you that the Raleigh Police Department is and will continue to devote every resource we can to preventing and reducing crime. As part of our crime strategy, we will continue to focus our efforts on locations where we're seeing repeated incidents such as the 1600 block of New Bern Avenue where there were two homicides in 2020 to 1 of them being in the fourth quarter and also to multiple shootings as well as drug activity and quality of life concerns. The community has demanded that we give attention to this area and we are doing exactly that and we'll do that to prevent further victimization. We will also continue our focus on repeat offenders who are committing violent crime. We know who they are and we are working with the D. A's office as well as the U. S. Attorney's office on state and federal charges that carry substantive penalties. Additionally, we will continue working with our law enforcement, other law enforcement agencies such as the sheriff with Wake County Sheriff's office and highway patrol for speed enforcement and saturation patrols to reduce the number of impaired drivers as well as aggressive drivers and when we are able to seize vehicles for such things as prearranged racing or fleeing to elude arrest, we will do so for the safety of everyone involved. Finally, we are always committed to working alongside the community to prevent crime. Our officers have increased their walking patrols for greater interaction with the public, mostly in the downtown area. Just last week, we had our inaugural walk with a cop event at Pullen park. Events like this. Certainly create opportunities for the community to come out and hang out with our officers and learn ways that they can contribute to preventing crime in their neighborhoods. As always, we welcome the public's cooperation and reporting information related to criminal behavior. You can call our Raleigh crimestoppers anonymously at (919) 996 1193 or you can leave a tip by visiting our crime stoppers website. cash payouts are available if your tip leads to and rest again. Thank you for joining us today, I will now open it up to questions that you may have of me and my staff pertaining to the fourth quarter. Uh speaking of available resources, what our staffing levels looking like and are there any plans to try to increase? Absolutely. So we continue to work on staffing. That's always a challenge for us as a department. But we are aggressive in our hiring that we are doing. We currently have a large academy class in place. We have another class that starting in january and we have another large class in july. So we will continue to do that. Um Certainly at some point we have to really consider our overall numbers. Um and our population growth to see, we've got to increase our police department. You mentioned those special enforcement teams um you know, areas with quality of life concerns, high volumes of violence and I know you mentioned, New Bern Avenue is a block of focusing on. What else are these special enforcement teams doing? Can you give us examples of how what they're doing is different from somebody not on the team. Right, so we're putting them strategically in different areas of the city anytime, mainly when I get a complaint of something occurring, could be crime related, could be speed traffic related, We will concentrate our efforts with that, but also to our traditional areas where we tend to see crime. So um along pool road, New Bern if we as we've stated also to Glenwood south and they're doing a lot of different things. Traffic enforcement, they're doing um undercover operations and such. Um some of our officers to on the team capital boulevard, they've really been concentrating with the fatalities that we have seen there, but also to the criminal um kind of behaviors that we're seeing along that corridor chief in respect to the staffing and recruitment. How many vacancies do you have right now? I know in the past we've reported around 100. I know you've had several recruitment classes, people retire etcetera. What number are you working with now? Yeah, absolutely. I mean it's a fluid number. It changes really literally every day as we are hiring people or we have individuals retiring or leaving the organization. We are sitting right now at 100 and 15 vacancies and then um just two uh loop around what you ended with. As far as helpful the community I know in the last briefing you mentioned that you were seeing increased numbers of tips to your tip line and that kind of thing. Do you have any, you know, anecdotal evidence or hard numbers to show that that has continued throughout the rest of this year are more people cooperating and helping you with investigations or is that still a problem area. So I don't have the numbers, the hard numbers to share with you today. I will tell you that we have done. We have actually Two campaigns where we have really pushed to get some information, one of the fatality that occurred on Glenwood and we've been getting the tips in. We always encourage more um any information that anybody has. That could be helpful. Even if you don't think it could be helpful, I think it can be helpful and we do encourage individuals just to call and report that we're ending the year, you know with record homicide numbers for the city of Raleigh, almost 50 deaths. What does that tell you about where we are right now? Um As far as violent crime goes in Raleigh and what are you doing to address? You know, 49 homicides and making that number lower. Sure, again I think it goes back to what we are seeing, we are a growing city, our population is growing. Many people are moving to this area um and as I've stated in my briefing, I think it's naive to think that you're not going to have a criminal element that is a part of that growth, we will continue to do the things we're doing, focusing on problem locations, problem individuals and trying to mitigate that as much as we as we can with the resources that we have. One of the biggest things I think we can do though as a police department is to partner one with the community And secondly with our partners always reaching out to the U. S. Attorney's Office. The relationship there is solid Mr Easley is always communicating with me on those more severe charges. So when an individual cremate creates crime or commits a crime were able to take swift action on it chief. What can we expect in 2023 with the community violence interrupter program with Raleigh apex N. W. C. P. I know that there's been funding already approved and everything for it but I want to know uh what we can expect to get going with the program. Sure when we do our briefing later this month there will be more conversation about that. The C. V. I. Program is full is working towards being up and running. I think that um Gerald Givens, the president of CPI spoke about that just the other day in an interview that he did where he's looking by the summer to have some boots on the ground. Those will be individuals community members who will be interacting very directly with individuals in the community to be able to you know just impact the crime that we're seeing the police. I always say that we can only do so much to impact that. We really do need a community component of individuals who know who those offenders are who have a rapport with them and be able to talk to those to prevent the crime from happening in the first place. When we see 14 and 15 year olds committing crimes? We have to have groups of people who can really connect with them and be able to turn that around and to prevent them from going into a life of crime chief and any interesting like third party help from shot spotter. Like like could you speak to that at all? That's that is not currently a technology that we are looking at here in Raleigh I will tell you just from where I stand, I would prefer those um crime reduction that prevents crime in the first place. Um shot spotter, something that I think it's a great tool for those communities that need it. But I would rather make the investments in areas where we can prevent crime from occurring in the first place. How the suspect was able to access and charges may be coming against the parents. I know you mentioned the importance of securing firearms and youth getting access to weapons at this point. What if anything are able to share about that? I do not have any information at this time that I can share that is an ongoing investigation um that is occurring. So there's no charges or at this point against the parents. I can't speak to whether there's any plans for charges but there have not been any at this time with respect to the heading ham shooting um the two officers who fired their weapons. Have they returned to work? They have been cleared and returned to work. And can you just speak to where we are in that investigation? Have you completed your investigation and turn that over to the District Attorney's office? The investigation is nearly complete. We we round table with the D. A's office almost on a daily basis. Deputy chief pollster Howard has been working very closely with that. Um So it is ongoing. We once everything is complete that we will get that fully to the D. A. S. Still open within your office. If I could just mention the robbery from persons, it's a pretty significant decrease of 25%. This is in the fourth quarter of course. Um I know you're analyzing year over year numbers. Is it that significant? 25% year over year do you believe? I know that in the fourth quarter we did very well. I'm Just kind of wondering are we seeing a crazy decrease in robberies from people? We have seen just really a trend in the last couple of years of a decrease in robberies from persons. Of course I don't have the exact number for 2022 yet. We will get that. But just the trends that we have been seeing there has been a decrease from personal robberies with firearms number and it's so wise we're seeing it it's trending up. Which is very disturbing. Just means now that we have more of our youth that are in possession of firearms. We saw, you know, the very disturbing tragedy that happened in, in in in Virginia just recently. Um, it just goes again to show us that we've got to be more intentional about making sure that firearms are not accessible to young people that we're securing them and they're not in locations where they can get to them easily. Thank you everyone. I appreciate it. Thank you. As the chief said, there'll be an opportunity later on in the month to address additional issues. We thank you for coming today. We hope to see you at the next conference. Thank you everyone. Thank you.</p>

Hi, everyone. Happy Thursday, meteorologist, Anthony Bag Leone here in the WRL SE Weather center, we are on track to see a really nice day if you like temperatures close to normal sunshine. No rainfall expected for us today. Although we could use a little bit more. It is a little bit dry. Our latest drought monitor is showing that across most of the viewing area. We go to 74 though this afternoon, it'll come with a lot of sunshine, maybe some clouds floating on by. But other than that really no big problems for you today. A pretty normal stretch for this the next couple of days or normal 75 below that tomorrow. But close enough, we get to 81 on Sunday, 86 on Monday and then that continues into next week. That will be our weather story next week is definitely some warmer weather and pretty calm with minimal rain chances. Tuesday is really the only chance I have at this point. We of course, have the Durham Bulls though playing at home Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Even into Sunday, we have Dollar dog night bark at the park tonight. I think it's gonna be probably pretty packed temperatures at 71 upper sixties tomorrow. 72 on Saturday, zero rain chances for any of those games. So it's gonna be a really, I think probably busy time at the DB A here into the weekend. 68 for Brugal. Also happening tomorrow as you're headed out there 67 at seven o'clock, sixties for the majority of that forecast looks like, probably partly to mostly cloudy skies. Saturday. Very similar. Just a couple degrees warmer at 74 at four o'clock and then still 78 at eight o'clock in the evening, we head over the next seven. You see temperatures really not moving too much. The next couple of days we get to Monday. That's when we start to climb 8688 on Tuesday and Tuesday during the afternoon into Tuesday evening. That's when we could see a few areas of rain. It doesn't look like a big system right now. But when we have no other chances in the forecast, that's at least the only one that we are watching right now and still warm there into Wednesday at 87.

Brian Shrader flies over the site of a plane crash at Raleigh-Durham International Airport approximately three hours after the accident.

Seen some activity just in the past 10 minutes or so. I want to take you outside Sky five right now for a live look at the scene. We saw a van being escorted to the runway there and someone got out and now there appears to be a really careful inspection of the debris going on. So we're working to confirm if that may be the NTSB investigation team arriving at the scene. Let's zoom out and give you some about where this is. There are two main runways at RDU International and this is in the grassy field next to the runway that mostly serves terminal one on the east side of the airport, that runway remains closed while this investigation continues at the top of your screen. That is the other main runway that serves terminal two, mostly that runway is open. So we have two things going on here that could affect your flights for the rest of the day and maybe even into tomorrow, the airport takeoff and landing capacity is roughly reduced by half because they are only working with one runway. And if you have a flight coming out of terminal one, maybe Southwest, you're going to have to take that crossover all the way out to that other runway. It's going to add a lot of extra time.

Sky 5 flies over RDU plane crash 3 hours later 

A UNC Health physician and pilot were taken to the hospital Wednesday after a small plane crashed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).


Sky 5 flies over plane crash at RDU

RDU Airport Authority gives an update on a plane crash that sent a physician and pilot to the hospital. The crash occurred Wednesday morning on a flight that took off from Wilmington.

<p>Landguth first, I want to extend my thoughts to those affected by this morning's aircraft accident and thank our first responders for their quick action to respond. The airport authority and its mutual aid partners responded to an aircraft accident at RDU involving a general aviation aircraft. The accident occurred at approximately 10:10 a.m. in the grass next to runway five, right 23 left. The flight was arriving from Wilmington, North Carolina. The A the aircraft is owned by medical Air Inc and operated by UN C air operations. The aircraft had two people on board, one pilot and one passenger. Both were transported to area hospitals. The federal A Bush administration issued a ground stop that was lifted at approximately 1130 this morning. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have both been notified. The National Transportation Safety Board is en route and expected to arrive within the next hour at which time we will conduct an accident investigation. Rdu's runway five left 23 right reopened to departing and arriving aircraft around 11:30 a.m. this morning. Are you experiencing approximately 70 delays and several arriving flights were diverted to other airports? Until ground stock was lifted, travelers should contact their airline for the latest updates regarding the flight status. And of course questions about the identity and condition of the pilot and passenger should be directed to UN C health. And at this time I'll try to answer any questions. You may have, uh, the one, any other accidents in, in the past. I'm not familiar with any other accidents have occurred with that operation. I don't know, uh, that's the role of the National Transportation Safety Board. They'll actually come in and do the investigation. Uh, and at some point in the future, they write up a report and determine what the cause of the accident was. You know, that there was no notification to the airport authority or to the FAA uh about any type of emergency on board. Do we have a guy? We don't, all we know that we've got them out of the airplane and we've got them transported to local hospitals. We know situations like this and delays have a ripple effect on, you know, flights. Do you have any idea what type of impact we'll see here in our view and for not sure, but what we're going to encourage everybody to do is reach out to your airlines. We'll be able to give you real time information about the impact of your particular flight. Ok. I believe some of them went to Greensboro and I think a couple went to Charlotte as well. What, what to be impacted due to the NTSD. Say that one more time at this point in time, what we call the west side of our airport is now open the investigation they'll conduct will all be on the east side. So at this point, we are anticipating normal operations returning to normal operations from this point forward. I don't think that anything that they're doing regarding the investigation or where they would have to investigate would have any impact to the west side of the airport. No, the aircraft is still on the airfield itself. It's on the east side of the field. So terminal one that runways the east side of the field, that's where the debris field actually sits, the west side of the field is open and operational and safe to operate. Not that I'm aware of in operations for you throughout this event today. What was your main concern concerning the passengers that were in the internals? Right. I think our primary focus when, when that accident occurred were the two people sitting in that aircraft? Our primary mission is to make sure we can get to them and try to rescue them and try to make sure that we can get them in a safe condition as fast as we possibly can. Uh secondarily is trying to figure out then how we recover and get our operations back up and running. Mhm. How does that affect? What goes on term? Yeah, so great. Question. So the team has figured out a way to get all the aircraft they're gonna operate at terminal one. Your Southwest develops. Uh We've got a crossover taxi way that we can actually get them through our general aviation aircraft. We've got a crossover taxiway, we can get them to. But the rest of the uh accident scene is actually kind of isolated and closed and locked off. Yeah, you're terminal one at this point in time. Once they can get back on their schedule, it's going to be a normal operations. All right. Thank you guys. All right. Thank you. Grab your phone, right.</p>
